Abstract
Autofill systems for faucets are configured to determine an interior height of a vessel that holds water and is positioned along a sensing axis of a distance sensor. The interior height of the vessel is based on a bottom surface and a top rim surface of the vessel measured concurrently by the distance sensor. The autofill system closes an electronic valve once a predetermined fill level within the vessel is reached to shut off water flow through a spray head. The predetermined fill level is based on water surface level within the vessel and the top rim surface measured concurrently by the distance sensor relative to the determined interior height of the vessel.
